AI Summary:
Hamas will release six more hostages on Saturday, the last of the 33 to be freed under the ceasefire’s first phase. The next hostage release will be in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Israel confirmed the exchange, saying that four deceased hostages will be returned to Israel on Thursday. The militant group quickly reasserted its control of the territory during the ceasefire. US President Donald Trump’s recent proposal to relocate the Palestinians out of Gaza has been rejected by the Arab world. Israel has embraced Trump’s plan, and both have been eager to emphasise they share the same goals in the war.
